August 4, 201610 yr For real. It's all on you man. Why can't you just take the high road like EVERYONE ELSE ALWAYS DOES? Gotta start somewhere. Perhaps it might be you.
August 4, 201610 yr My thoughts...I'd rather have a mentally damaged Trump in office as Hillary Clinton.
August 4, 201610 yr You just can't help yourself can you? And we wonder why the threads travel this path. Somebody's gonna roll out the "what's the difference" line...
August 4, 201610 yr Gotta start somewhere. Perhaps it might be you. Guilty as charged. With so many fine examples of objective sound contributors it's puzzling even to myself how I battle so with being able to step it up.
August 4, 201610 yr Guilty as charged. With so many fine examples of objective sound contributors it's puzzling even to myself how I battle so with being able to step it up. If nothing else, it's evident that no one on any side likes any of the candidates. That could be said (by me for one) of the independent as well. But what's frustrating is that we can't keep from attacking one another. We are better than that. This site is better than that. And as much as I'd like to throw a barb out there in reply to what I perceive as a nutty statement I disagree with, I try to refrain. I'll say this, the old spindoc would have been on it like white on rice. Trying to do better. We are in a no win situation as a nation in my opinion. Basically we are gonna have to maintain through whomever is how I view it. So the junk lobbed over the center of the aisle is petty and beneath us to be honest. I'll dismount my soapbox now.

August 4, 201610 yr Not at all. No where in her position has she ever attempted to exploit the situation for personal financial gain. She just called out the person who had the ability to order assistance for Americans who were in trouble in the middle of bad guy country and didn't. She called out the fact that the person who could have helped, lied to the American public about the situation. She never waved a pamphlet of the Constitution at anyone. She never was concerned about her personal business taking a hit for her stance. And she, yes she, the female, the woman, spoke about the loss of her son as a mother..... .....but really, what difference does it make at this point anyway, ....right ? :idunno: How is Mr. Kahn receiving financial gain?
August 4, 201610 yr How is Mr. Kahn receiving financial gain? See post #102. Panic Mode: Khizr Khan Deletes Law Firm Website that Specialized in Muslim Immigration - Breitbart I'll recap for your convenience: Khan is an attorney, has a very lucrative practice in specialized Visa management....specifically foreign individuals who do not meet standard entry requirements to United States....his niche is with very wealthy foreign business persons... If Trump's plan for immigration were to be implemented, he loses his practice.... The DNC has given him a 10 minute live commercial and untold number of inquiries for what he has said and done..... Financial gain....it's not just for the Clinton's you know The EB5 program, which helps wealthy foreigners usually from the Middle East essentially buy their way into America, is fraught with corruption. U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has detailed such corruption over the past several months, and in February issued a blistering statement about it.
August 5, 201610 yr Back to the subject at hand. He cannot be contained because he is psychologically off the chain. With each passing week he displays the classic symptoms of medium-grade mania in more disturbing forms: inflated self-esteem, sleeplessness, impulsivity, aggression and a compulsion to offer advice on subjects he knows nothing about. His speech patterns are like something straight out of a psychiatric textbook. Manics display something called “flight of ideas.” It’s a formal thought disorder in which ideas tumble forth through a disordered chain of associations. One word sparks another, which sparks another, and they’re off to the races. As one trained psychiatrist said to me, compare Donald Trump’s speaking patterns to a Robin Williams monologue, but with insults instead of jokes. Trump insults Paul Ryan, undermines NATO and raises the specter of nuclear war. Advisers can’t control Trump’s brain because Trump can’t control it himself. He also cannot be contained because he lacks the inner equipment that makes decent behavior possible. So many of our daily social interactions depend on a basic capacity for empathy. But Trump displays an absence of this quality. He looks at the grieving mother of a war hero and is unable to recognize her pain. He hears a crying babyand is unable to recognize the infant’s emotion or the mother’s discomfort. He is told of women being sexually harassed at Fox News and is unable to recognize their trauma. The same blindness that makes him impervious to global outrage makes it impossible for him to make empathetic connection. Fear is his only bond. Some people compare Trump to the great authoritarians of history, but that’s wrong. They were generally disciplined men with grandiose plans. Trump is underdeveloped and unregulated. He is a slave to his own pride, compelled by a childlike impulse to lash out at anything that threatens his fragile identity. He appears to have no ability to experience reverence, which is the foundation for any capacity to admire or serve anything bigger than self, to want to learn about anything beyond self, to want to know and deeply honor the people around you. Republicans are not going to be able to help the 70-year-old man-child grow up over the next few months. Nor are they going to be able to get him to withdraw from the race. A guy who can raise $82 million mostly in small donations has a passionate niche following. But they can at least get out of the enabling business. First, they can acknowledge that they are being sucked down a nihilistic whirlpool. Second, they can acknowledge the long-term damage being done to the country and to themselves. Amid the chaos, all sorts of ugliness is surfacing. See the video of the horrific things shouted at Trump rallies compiled by Times reporters. Moreover, Trump is permanently tainting the names of conservatism and the Republican Party and the many good men and women who have built and served it. As Ben Shapiro writes in National Review, “Trump asks something more — your political soul.” http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/05/opinion/trumps-enablers-will-finally-have-to-take-a-stand.html?smid=fb-nytimes&smtyp=cur&_r=0
August 5, 201610 yr Parental discretion advised if you check the link in the final paragraph. America at its absolute worst.
August 5, 201610 yr Yesterday Trump said he had seen a plane on a video that never existed. He since walked back on that. Sanity still a question.

There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.” :lol2:
